Does a clogged duct or mastitis cause body aches/headaches?

Question

I feel like crap. I have really bad clogged ducts. No fever yet.

Answer

Yep! Thats how my mastitis started 2 weeks ago. I had really bad fatigue and body aches. Few hours later progressed to chills and a fever. Keep track of your symptoms because if it is mastitis youll need antibiotics

Answer

Mastitis could definitely make you feel like crap. Many compare it to a flu.

Yes, you I got it twice ugh one on each breast ones I notice the symptoms of my breast I massage alot while breastfeeding because I'm so traumatized of the mastitis horrible

Answer

Yes, get on top of it now or it’ll only get worse... it’s awful

Answer

Absolutely. Get antibiotics immediately. I ended up having to be hospitalized, it can be very serious.

Answer

I’ve never had the flu but that’s exactly how I felt when I had mastitis. I couldn’t even hold my baby. You should definitely go to urgent care and get antibiotics. You’ll need to unclog those ducts too. If it hurts to nurse, pump as much as you can while using warm compress

Answer

I went to the hospital for mastitis las week as I had a fever of 102°. My breasts were super hot (I described it as my boobs having a fever too), my left boob was completely red from the nipple down and was hard no matter how often I nursed and super sensitive and painful to the touch. The night before I woke up with a fever, I woke up in the middle of the night with chills and drenched in sweat. Just stay hydrated, nurse or pump as often as possible and pay attention to any new symptoms or fever so you can get treated and get on antibiotics ASAP if needed. Within 2 days of taking my antibiotics (out of the 10 days that I need to take them for) i started to feel better and the pain went away. I hope you don’t have it and that whatever is making you feel like crap goes away soon!
